We shot a music video in the location and it was perfect. This was one of the most amazing locations with so much character. Was more than what I expected from pics online!

Absolutely wonderful experience here. The location was clean and easy to access. Bea, our host, was timely and super friendly. I highly recommend this place for a variety of uses. In addition, there are several cool places nearby to eat at and site see.

Bea was a fantastic host! Very friendly and accommodating! She gave us the tour, offered to move props and items if we needed them moved for shooting, was available if needed, but gave us space to shoot. The location is awesome. If you're looking for underground, urban exploring, old bank vaults, ghost adventures - there's some really neat areas to shoot. Some of the spaces are TIGHT - so don't expect to get a big crew or huge lights in or anything - but it's really neat for a more intimate shoot. Only negative - in some spaces, there is some sound bleed from the plumbing pipes overhead in the rest of the building (duh - it's a basement) and when water is running, you may have to wait or just live with the sound in the take. Great location! Great people!
